This one was not recorded but stay tuned - I also presented in that session and I think I'll try to share the information with this group also, perhaps via a recorded office hours!
Unfortunately I only saw the Q&A announcement after it had happened. Two questions:
1) Is it suspected that a difference in ink is the reason it has been somewhat challenging--not automatic--to read portions of scrolls 2-4? Or is it something else?
2) Has more progress been made on reading other portions of scroll 1 (PHerc.Paris. 4)?
1) This is likely one factor among a few, though we don't fully understand the impact yet of each one. The inks are similar but likely not identical, the same can be said for the papyrus, the scans are acquired independently and have shifts in the resulting image distributions, different scrolls were subjected to different physical interventions and may have differing conditions as a result, scrolls were on different parts of the shelves and were not impacted identically by the eruption, etc. So it's tricky! We are hopeful that as we build the datasets across larger samples of the collection, the methods and models will begin to generalize more.
2) Yes, some additional segmentations continue to reveal text, though there have not yet been large additions - soon, we hope!
Cool.. thank you.. Was in bad traffic at 730 Am.
Good morning: I missed the event with Brett Seals this morning in Italy.. On YouTube. Will there be a link so I could watch this event? Thank you.
